In Terms of You

We can't help who we fall in love with
And that goes for me as well as you
Though I curse your name at night
Just to keep alive the fight
I have with you

And it's been one too many years of cruel rememberance
And far too many hours of empty talk
Though I sob into my drink
As I throw up in the sink
I think of you

And it's been one too many times you've gone to call me
Telling me we need to talk when we means you
Though ambivalent you are
As you sink to my guitar
I sing of you

And it's been one too many nights I went home empty
As I failed yet again to pull you through
Can't admit you're still afraid
I hope someday you die a maid
And still be true

And it's been one too many bitter years of longing
You can't imagine how much time I've spent alone
Trying not to get so broken
That my name is always spoken
In terms of you
